Gravitational light bending by compact stars is an important astrophysical phenomenon. The bending angle depends on the stellar compactness, which is the ratio of stellar mass $M$ to radius $R$. In this paper, we investigate the pulse…

Binary systems consisting of an early type star and a black hole (BH) are crucial for understanding various astrophysical phenomena, particularly the origins of detected gravitational wave sources. Be binary systems are expected to…

Using the method presented in Erspamer & North (2002, Paper I hereafter), detailed abundances of 140 stars are presented. The uncertainties characteristic of this method are presented and discussed. In particular, we show that for a S/N…

We assume that stars may undergo surface differential rotation to study its impact on the interpretation of $V\!\sin i$ and on the observed distribution $\Phi(u)$ of ratios of true rotational velocities $u=V/V_\rm c$ ($V_\rm c$ is the…

We study the Be star $\delta$ Cen circumstellar disk using long-baseline interferometry which is the only observing technique capable of resolving spatially and spectroscopically objects smaller than 5 mas in the H and K b and. We used the…

The rich oscillation spectra determined for the two stars, Nu Eridani and 12 Lacertae, present an interesting challenge to stellar modelling. The stars are hybrid objects showing a number of modes at frequencies typical for Beta Cep stars…

The ON stars are a rare subtype of O stars, of uncertain origin. We report two new, rapidly-rotating ON stars found in data acquired with the Large Sky Area Multi-Object Fiber Spectroscopic Telescope, LAMOST. LS I +61 28 is an ON8.5 Vn…

With a Jupiter-like exoplanet and a debris disk with both asteroid and Kuiper belt analogs, $\epsilon$ Eridani has a fascinating resemblance to our expectations for a young Solar System. We present a deep HST/STIS coronographic dataset…

Chemically peculiar (CP) stars with a measurable magnetic field comprise the group of mCP stars. The pulsating members define the subgroup of rapidly oscillating Ap (roAp) stars, of which Alpha Circini is the brightest member. Hence, Alpha…

Direct imaging observations are biased towards wide-separation, massive companions that have degenerate formation histories. Although the majority of exoplanets are expected to form via core accretion, most directly imaged exoplanets have…

Context. Mercury-manganese (HgMn) stars are a class of slowly rotating chemically peculiar main-sequence late B-type stars. More than two-thirds of the HgMn stars are known to belong to spectroscopic binaries. Aims. By determining orbital…

The star transform is a generalized Radon transform mapping a function of two variables to its integrals along "star-shaped" trajectories, which consist of a finite number of rays emanating from a common vertex. Such operators appear in…

The evolution of starspots of the giant primaries of RS CVn systems is typically detected indirectly with photometric and spectroscopic monitoring. These observations suggest slowly-evolving stellar surfaces and can constrain differential…

In this study, we analyze the emission lines of different species present in 118 Galactic field classical Be stars in the wavelength range of 3800 - 9000 \AA. We re-estimated the extinction parameter (A$_V$) for our sample stars using the…

Optical and infrared interferometers definitively established that the photometric standard Vega (alpha Lyrae) is a rapidly rotating star viewed nearly pole-on. Recent independent spectroscopic analyses could not reconcile the inferred…

We present a semi-analytical approach for modeling circumstellar emission from rotating hot stars with a strong dipole magnetic field tilted at an arbitrary angle to the rotation axis. By assuming the rigid-field limit in which material…

Prompted by X-ray detections from multiple surveys, we investigated the A-type star HD 63021 and found that it is a double-lined spectroscopic binary with highly variable emission associated with the primary star. Analysis of our…

Using a sample of 92 Galactic Be stars, we compare inclination angles (the angle between a star's rotation axis and the line-of-sight) determined from H$\alpha$ emission line profile fitting to those determined by the spectroscopic…

A significant population of nearby stars have strong far-infrared excesses, now known to be due to circumstellar dust in regions analogous to the Kuiper Belt of our solar system, though orders of magnitude more dense. Recent sub-mm and mm…

This paper investigates the spin-up of a mass-accreting star in a close binary system passing through the first stage of mass exchange in the Hertzsprung gap. Inside an accreting star, angular momentum is carried by meridional circulation…
